Farm bill advocates won a strong procedural vote in the Senate Thursday morning, clearing the way for passage next week and boosting efforts by the House to move ahead this month with its own five-year plan to revamp major commodity programs.

The 75-22 roll call easily surpassed the 60-vote threshold needed to invoke cloture. And after all the frustration of the past year, the lopsided margin reflects a renewed determination to just get the farm legislation into a House-Senate conference this summer and try to strike some final compromise.

A bloody fight lies ahead in the House, scheduled to take up its bill the week of June 17. But having blocked floor action last year, Speaker John Boehner will find it harder to justify more stalling after the bipartisan showing in the Senate Thursday.

Indeed for the remaining debate time in the Senate, the Agriculture Committee leadership will be in the driver’s seat in defining what amendments will still be allowed before a final vote on passage, possibly as early as Monday.

Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and her ranking Republican, Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, have been working to try to come up with a workable list. But as many as 240 remain filed, and the incessant wrangling has made their task difficult.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is anxious to move on next week to the pending immigration reform legislation, and it’s not to be ruled out that a decision will be made to quickly go to passage next week.
